TYPE 1 IS CHRONIC, MISUNDERSTOOD AND INVISIBLE. THE COMMUNITY HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN FED A MESSAGE OF "HOPE," "CURE" AND "TOMORROW," AND WHILE THERE HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS PROGRESS, LITTLE HAS BEEN DONE TO SUPPORT LIFE TODAY. MISDIAGNOSIS, LACK OF ACCESS TO LIFE-SAVING DEVICES, AND IN SOME CASES TO EVEN THE BASICS SUCH AS INSULIN, HAS LED TO DESPAIR AND FRUSTRATION, FRACTURED GROUPS AND MANY SMALL VOICES. SINCE RECEIVING OUR 501C3 DETERMINATION IN JULY 2015, WE HAVE SPENT THE YEAR ENGAGING WITH THE TYPE 1 COMMUNITY VIA SOCIAL MEDIA, SEEING T1D THROUGH A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE. WE HAVE LAUNCHED DOZENS OF PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS NEEDS AROUND ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION, PARTNERED WITH THOUGHT LEADERS AND INFLUENCERS TO IGNITE CHANGE AND WE HAVE INVESTED IN PROMISING RESEARCH AIMED AT DISCOVERING A CURE. OUR WEBSITE HAS IMPACTED 245,000 INDIVIDUALS IN 162 COUNTRIES AROUND THE GLOBE, OUR SOCIAL CHANNELS ARE FOLLOWED BY 188 COUNTRIES AND 210,000 AND WE ARE GROWING DAILY. BEYOND TYPE 1 HAS GROWN FROM A SINGLE INITIAL INSTAGRAM POST TO A POWERFUL UNITED GLOBAL FORCE, EAGER FOR MORE. THE SINGLE MOST COMMON PHRASE OF GRATITUDE WE HEAR IS I KNOW, NOW, THAT I AM NOT ALONE. WE ARE MOVING THE NEEDLE EVERY DAY AND PLAN TO CONTINUE BUILDING ON THE FOUNDATION WE HAVE SET. WITH BROAD SWEEPING INITIATIVES FOCUSED ON TECHNOLOGY, EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY PLUS AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO SUPPORTING GLOBAL RESEARCH INITIATIVES, WE ARE INSPIRED. THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF THIS annual report 2015-2016
